John Banville Quotes

I Think He Is Losing Heart In His Attempts To Woo Her. In That Bright-yellow Waistcoat, The Bottom Button Always Punctiliously Undone And The Pointed Flaps Open Over His Neat Little Paunch, He Is As Intent And Circumspect As One Of Those Outlandishly Plumed Male Birds, Peacock Or Cock Peasant, Who Gorgeously Stalk Up And Down At A Distance, Desperate Of Eye But Pretending Indifference, While The Drab Hen Unconcernedly Pecks In The Gravel For Grubs.
